Data-Informed Self-Assessment

This self-assessment is designed to collect information about your experiences working with data in your day-to-day practice. We expect this self-assessment to take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Please note: There are no right or wrong answers; responding “never” or “rarely” to any of the following items does not necessarily indicate a problem or need for improvement, but offers insight about your experience with and use of data at this moment in time.

I meet with colleagues to look at and discuss data together.
I use data to help me identify which students might need additional support.
I look for patterns in student errors on assessments to determine content that may need to be revisited.
I use data to identify areas where I need to adjust my instructional approach.
